Note: "Maas Cornelius ... did not follow the lead of his two older brothers who used the surname Van Buren, indicating the family's origins in Holland. Instead, perhaps because he was the first of the family to be born in America, he adopted the surname Van Bloemendaal, later to become anglicized as Bloomingdale." Also note: According to an email received Nov. 14, 2007 from Barbara (Van Buren) Perricelli, "the Bloomingdales were NOT Van Burens. Proof exists in the Albany Church deacons' records, showing that Maes Cornelius Van Buren died in Nov. 1662, so he could NOT possibly be Maes Cornelius Bloomngdale.
